Tetra Fan Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004	Hocky Stick Tetra (aka Penguin Tetra) I think you should stick to 1 school of Tetras. Pick which you like the best and take the others back. Bring up the remaining school of Tetras to about 10 (they need at LEAST 6 to be happy) Like said above, the Pleco may need to go back depending on what type. A good pleco for a 35 would be a bristle nose pleco or a clown pleco as both stay about 4 inches in length max. When you fix your Tetra school, you could add a Pair of Blue Rams and a small school of 6 cory's to the bottom. Last edited by Tetra Fan at 31-Dec-2005 13:12

jasonpisani Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 5553 Kudos: 7215 Votes: 1024 Registered: 24-Feb-2003	Tetra's need to stay in a school of at least 6 & what type of Pleco do you have?. If it's a common one, they'll grow quite big. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
